did not create the conditions at the beginning of the crisis to fight against the crises it reacts very late. and on the other hand once the government. wants to do. the government it's not doing its job properly look good in the no doubt for people to wake up otherwise we'll just become slaves to the system who want to be treated as humans and they believe they can make a difference. the government has to change things because they don't have a choice. with greece in shambles and neighboring portugal trashed by the rating agencies spain is facing not just a financial but a deepening social crisis members of the so-called indignant marches say they want their dignity preserved but whether their calls will be heard is another issue even those carty madrid. and there's more bad news for greece its credit score has been

dropped to one notch above the fault following last week's second bailout package ratings giant moody's says the rejigged dead implies substantial losses to financial investors but actual journalist johan van overtveldt says the rescue package is nothing more than banks paying money to other banks. we're bailing out the banks and we wouldn't be that soft i presume with greece if there wasn't the problem of the french and the german banks not only of these two countries but of course they are the major players in this if they were in that vulnerable to the greek situation and beat were throwing money at the banks through greece this package will certainly not help the greek economy the greek economy needs growth and since you're in the midst of a very bad recession you are obliged the country to cut spending to increase taxes then throwing some money. is not the solution. effectively default because if

you calculate the net present value what the private. will given you amount to value reduction of value reduction over around twenty percent europe we don't have a political union and we don't we certainly don't have flexible labor markets so from the beginning. there were huge weaknesses in the whole of the monetary union in europe and my big surprise is that the last that then years before through this kind of crisis is these weaknesses. across the atlantic the clock is counting down over the u.s. national debt president obama's appeal to the public to put pressure on congress to find a compromise on arrival plans to resolve the crisis in a televised national address he warned that the american people should not become victims of political bickering on capitol hill republicans and democrats have been a locked in a dispute over how to. raising the country's debt ceiling through spending cuts or

tax hikes in an attempt to calm her of his asian investors secretary of state hillary clinton has stated the government will avoid a looming default matthew valid a member senior research editor at capital research center and author of subversion a inc says this is essential for the government to raise its borrowing limit and keep on spending. and the democrats in congress just want to keep on spending. and so they would like to see the debt ceiling raised so that they can continue to give rewards to their supporters among the labor unions at the various political organizations that are sympathetic to the democratic party's cause the u.s. is able to keep raising its debt ceiling because people investors around the world have confidence in the united states they believe that the u.s. government will honor. it's outstanding obligations and so as long as people have

faith in the investors of faith in the u.s. government in its credit worthiness then the u.s. could keep raising its debt ceiling the problem right now is that the debt is so high that that in itself is starting to become a negative factor that could lead to a credit rating downgrade of the united states government if china loses confidence in. america the american government's ability to pay its debts then the u.s. will have nowhere to run to the u.s. with the only the only choice it would have would be to keep printing money to inflate the currency run the printing presses and risk devastating hyperinflation so that's about the only or the u.s. government would have to drastically cut spending and implement pretty severe austerity measures or his financial analyst max kaiser thinks he's located the

source of all america's money worries there is a preview of what's coming up a little later in. the financial hole the grounds that exist only in the figment taishan of psychotic central bankers like ben bernanke who are off their meds. once we get take anti-psychotic and we see that should nature of a ben bernanke i fully expect sam to run naked around ron paul swinging a tambourine and singing some old carpenter's song. while having his entire body waxed by dominic tricks that's pretty much all we can look forward to what is next congressional testimony. thousands of norwegians gathered in the center of oslo monday for

different than us who have different customs there are sad i'm very concerned that in the next half decade no financial stresses that all of europe is going to face are going to is going to help these far right groups i am concerned that it is a real trend sadly while economic hardship has not caused this i think it is likely to exacerbate what we're seeing and i think that looking at just the scandinavian countries it is actually idling far right groups are going to gain increasing credence and popularity in the next few years throughout europe which is worryingly close to almost a century approach and we really need to hope that our leaders throughout europe will do more to put these type of caustic ideologies back on the fringes where they belong stay with us here on r.t.c. . come in the program the cost of war. as nato forces in

afghanistan lead to more civilian casualties we ask how much longer the alliance can justify its means i think people's anger grows. plus no conviction but no apology for one ton of the inmate lifts the lid on the prison that he says ruined his life and our exclusive interview coming your way in about ten minutes. but first syria's government has approved a law to allow the formation of political parties other than president assad's ruling baath party opposition movements were banned when the bath party came to power in one thousand sixty three it's part of a series of reforms promised by assad to try and put down months of protest against his regime political theorist benjamin barber says this change in the legislature though is nothing more than a charade it is not anything but a formal and technical change the reality is this government cannot afford to have a genuine multi party. approach because the parties that will be empowered include

powers that want to see the end of holloway rule and the end of bashar assad in other words if they do more than just a formality it will lead to the fall of government so i do not believe that this is anything more than a attempts to stall for a while the uprising and i do not believe it will lead to multi-party democracy and i do not believe that in the end it is going to stop the uprising in any meaningful way i would suggest that the united states and the western powers are being hypocritical they talk about wanting change but of course they haven't really put any pressure. on syria of the kind that they have put on libya for example that i don't see any nato warplanes preventing civilian casualties i don't see anyone really moving to look for an alternative the fact is the west doesn't like the show or a song. but he is evil and i think they're very worried about what the unknown alternative

might look like so i suspect that while they will continue to posture in public and pretend to condemn the regime they will do little to actually remove assad he knows that and therefore he will make some nice noises about multi-party democracy and about accommodation but in reality he will hang tough and i believe that very little will change. turn out of some other stories making headlines across the globe the new york hotel maid who accuses the former i.m.f. chief of sexually assaulting her has gone public now she said tells newsweek magazine she's telling the truth about the attack in may and wants to see dominic strauss kahn behind bars authorities are considering whether to drop the charges against him and made doubts over her credibility strauss kahn denies all the charges on. hundreds of gay couples got married in new york on sunday the u.s.

are victims of this and children are obviously one of the worst of the casualties the only solution to this is to say the war isn't working as there is absolutely no justification for the nato forces to be there and that they should withdraw the troops this is now coming up to the tenth anniversary of the war and there is absolutely no question that this war is not getting better it is getting worse it is almost certain that whatever settlement eventually comes in afghanistan it will involve the taliban in some capacity nearly everybody now recognizes this so what is the point of continuing this war the point of continuing this war is because the americans and the british and their allies cannot make defeat in the second country after what happened in iraq that is why they're there they in order to prop up a government that they have no real confidence in they are in order to save their

own faces they are there to protect their interests they're not there to protect the ordinary afghans and we've seen this again this week the final serbian fugitive wanted by the u.n. war crimes tribunal has appeared in court or and has a traces fourteen charges including crimes against humanity during the balkans war in the one nine hundred ninety s. service officials hope his arrest will clear way to e.u. membership diana johnston who has written extensively on the balkans thinks the hague court was only set up to bring one side to justice. the tribunal that is indeed set up may need to today actually need to loosen out that we're going to start a crisis as being the responsibility of be enjoying criminal enterprise i don't think there will be is more corrupt and other countries that are already admitted to the e.u. but i think the thing is is this really in the benefit to the benefit of the. if you listen to what the europeans are saying they're saying up another brutal has

been crossed they're not saying the less true there is saying an important hurdle and the other hurdles remain namely is that do recognition by serbia own the rip off of its problems of kosovo i think that mr tutt it should be a group that is in power which is that is backed by the united states and the european union is in fact ready to give away everything it can be given away it's only a question of how they can formulated in order to get it has to voters. from i mean events unfolding around the world you can always click on r.t. dot com there's plenty of blogs videos and analysis there too he was once a click away right now. former georgian president had words shevardnadze speaks out against poor living conditions in the country saying if things don't improve soon there will be mass protests all the details of life plus. fifteen million dollars for a matter wrongly imprisoned in the u.s. but only after losing his wife and more than

a decade in court. a recent meeting between the foreign ministers of north and south korea has been met with cautious optimism after a three year gap the two sides have agreed to renew six party talks over pyongyang's nuclear program. but the u.s. secretary of state says washington won't back negotiations unless north korea first starts dismantling its atomic facilities erik's iraq and co-founder of the national campaign to end the korean war thinks the u.s. shouldn't stand in the way of an attempt at a peaceful solution. we forget that you know you can reach agreements even with people you have profound differences with the word exercises where we see simulate landing two hundred thousand troops and taking over a young yang and defending against each other types of attacks only serves to amp

it up and certainly the age comments and expressions from the north don't help either so you have both sides who need to step back and certainly begin to look at peaceful exercises of their relationship there north korea has not india has always indicated that for a peace treaty and formalized relations with the united states that it would give up its nuclear weapon capability that has always been on the table and we should be grabbing that as a real opportunity because up more than one hundred fifty countries have normalized relations with the north and we need formal channels to begin to deal with these things like jimmy carter and former ambassadors have been saying and our campaign along with many others are beginning to help washington move from demonisation to engagement which is really necessary for any systematic change. the hours news
